How do I change a grade? Download the Grade Change Form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Grades may only be changed in cases where the faculty member made a clerical error in grade computation, or in cases where a student submitted additional work to fulfill a properly filed Incomplete/Deferred Grading contract. For further information, see the policy in our school catalog or contact the Registrar’s office.

How do I know if the Registrar's form(s) or PDF(s) I downloaded is the current one? The PDFs should have the latest revised date on them. If you are still not sure, you can clear your browser's cache.

What do I do with students on a waitlist and the class is full?If a class is full, you can register for the waitlist in Hawk's Edge. When you try to register for a class that is full, the waitlist screen will come up. Be sure the status says "ready to enroll" and click on Submit at the top of the page.Once you are on the waitlist, there are three possible ways to become enrolled in the class:1) If a student drops the class, the next student on the waitlist will be moved into the class automatically.2) If the instructor raises the cap on the class, students will be automatically enrolled from the waitlist until the new cap is reached.3) An instructor can give a particular student permission to enroll in the class over the cap. The student will need to turn in a Schedule Change Form with the instructor's signature. The Student Resource Center will accept these forms after the first day of the semester or term, and until the add deadline for the semester or term.Students will receive an email to his/her HNU email account when they have been moved off the waitlist and enrolled in a class.All waitlist moves will have to be completed before the add deadline for that semester or term. Check the Academic Calendar for the add deadlines.

How do I find the enrollment for a class? There is an easy way to find the enrollment. (Note: The date on the top of the page (for example, Last Updated: 2014-11-05-08:00) lets you know when the online class schedule was last updated.)

An easy way to find your class is to do a control find on the page. Press "CRTL and F" for PC or "command key and F" for MAC (the one with the Apple logo) and type COMM 122 (exactly as it's written on the class schedule) in the search box on the web browser. Hit “enter”. Under the column "Enrolled #/Max Size", it will tell you the enrollment for your class.
